Took my 0.25 semaglutide this morning and by afternoon I was dragging so bad I could barely keep my eyes open, way worse than previous weeks. I'm down 33 lbs so far so the med is clearly working, but this tiredness is new for me. Anyone else get hit with heavy fatigue right after injection day, and did it ease up as you went along?
Fatigue hit hard after today's dose, normal?
Mine hit hardest the day after, not the same day, and it was gone by week four or five. Did yours stay on that same afternoon schedule or did it start drifting later like mine did?
Was yours worse because you went up in dose this week? Mine only got that bad the first week at each new step, then settled.
Injection day knocks me out too, usually the day after is worse than the shot itself. Curious if yours hits right away or the next morning?
I had the same slump on shot day early on, like a wall I hit around mid afternoon. Mine got less brutal after I started dosing on a Friday so I could just rest through the worst of it.
Did you change up what you ate yesterday? My shot day crashes were always worse when I skipped lunch, and now that I've been at this a while they barely register.
Did yours hit the same day as the shot or the morning after? Mine was always worst about 24 hours out, not right after
How much water are you getting on shot day? Mine was brutal until I started front-loading fluids the night before, and I'm only a few lbs in so I'm watching this one closely
Did shot day land on a day you'd slept badly or skipped breakfast?
mine landed the day after shot day rather than same-day, and it was worst the couple weeks I was barely eating lunch. Once I started getting an actual meal in earlier it eased off, though I'm only a bit past where you are.
Mine was never same-day, always the morning after, and it kept up for a few weeks before tapering off. Curious whether yours lines up with shot day or the day after once you track it a bit.
I'm down a chunk myself and shot day still flattens me some afternoons, so for me it hasn't fully vanished, it just got less dramatic. Curious whether yours is worse on the day itself or the morning after.
Was the fatigue gone by the next morning or did it drag into day two? Mine hung around about 36 hours after the shot and then cleared up
Mine hit hardest on shot day too and then faded by the next morning. Curious if yours tracks that same 24 hour pattern or if it's lingering longer
Injection day naps were a thing for me too the first month or so, and mine faded once I stopped skipping breakfast on dose days. Curious whether yours lands the same day every week or bounces around.
honestly mine was the opposite, day after was always worse than shot day itself. Did it stay a same-day thing for you or did it drift later in the week
Mine never showed up on injection day itself, it was always the second morning after. Weirdly consistent that way
Mine was same-day too for the first couple months then it shifted later in the week. Bodies are weird like that
Mine was never the same day, it always landed about 36 hours after the shot. Did the afternoon crash come with any hunger weirdness or was it just straight exhaustion?
Did you eat much before the shot? I noticed my own wipeouts were way worse on mornings I skipped breakfast.
